I have no philosophy, I have senses.

A first encounter with Jacob,
My soul longs for you.
Our friendship with Gavin bears more fruit.
The match goes out.
What did you do that was so wrong?
Our “Time of David Lang” commences...and continues into April.

I’ve never kept sheep,
But it’s as if I did.

The world wasn’t made for us to think about it
(To think is to have eyes that aren’t well)
But to look at it and to be in agreement.

Gavin Bryars’ new work is a gift from the composer to The Crossing.
